Office Management Associate

We are looking for a polished, energetic, detail oriented and extremely friendly Receptionist/Office Assistant to find a long-term home on our Office Management team. Our ideal hire is someone who can seamlessly handle all the core parts of an admin role (things like managing complex calendars, prepping for meetings, and drafting correspondence), alongside everything that comes with working at the front desk of our global headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.

Our ideal candidate is someone with a hospitality mindset who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Exceptional organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, as are independence, integrity, and discretion. For this person, no task is too small or, over time, too large. Members of PDT's Office Management team are collaborative, flexible, and excellent multi-taskers.

Why join us?

Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world—measured by the quality of our products, not their size. PDT’s very high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually extraordinary and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse.

Responsibilities:

With precision, reliability, and promptness, perform an array of admin work (including scheduling, answering emails and calls, planning & setting up events, preparing expense reports, arranging travel, and ordering meals).
Help with a variety of Office Management related tasks, including office moves and working closely with building maintenance.

Skilled with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, various phone systems, Zoom, and internet tools.
Excellent verbal and written communication.
